predictable sequence of changing species that inhabit a decomposing body
A
insect succession
B
accumulated degree hours (ADH)
C
instar
D
complete metamorphosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Insects follow a predictable sequence of inhabiting a dead body, known as insect succession.

Detailed explanation-2: -In entomological studies, five stages of decomposition are commonly described: (1) Fresh, (2) Bloat, (3) Active Decay, (4) Advanced or Post-Decay, and (5) Dry Remains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insects colonize cadavers in a predictable sequence, also known as insect succession. The first to arrive are the necrophagous species, drawn by the strong scent of decomposition. Blow flies can invade a corpse within minutes of death, and flesh flies follow close behind.

Detailed explanation-4: -The six stages of decomposition he first described are: fresh, bloated, active decay, advanced decay, dry stage and remains [1].

Detailed explanation-5: -The first type of insect to arrive at a dead body is usually a blowfly (Calliphoridae), attracted by body fluids and gases. It lays its eggs within two days after death, so its stage of development-egg, larval stages, prepupal or pupal stage, adulthood-will suggest how long the corpse has been lying undetected.
